Tom,
I followed your advise and installed shorewall with the standalone
instructions you gave me.
It initially installed and appeared to be working (see $ sudo shorewall
start) on the attached file.
When I rebooted the computer and typed sudo shorewall start in the
terminal window this is what I saw:
Compiling...
Compiling /etc/shorewall/zones...
ERROR: No network interfaces defined
What did I do wrong? My shorewall settings are on the attached file.

Horace,
I''m going to give you the same advice that I did the last time.
Disregard the HOWTO you are using and use
http://www.shorewall.net/standalone.htm
The HOWTO that you are trying to follow is for creating a two-interface
router; you have a standalone computer.
Tom

My shorewall settings are on the attached file.Please do me a favor. a) Uninstall Shorewall (however your distribution allows you to do that) b) rm -rf /etc/shorewall c) rm -rf /etc/default/shorewall d) Install the shorewall package -- DO NOTHING ELSE other than what I tell you below. e) cd /etc/shorewall f) if you are running Debian or Ubuntu and installed the .deb: cp /usr/share/doc/shorewall/examples/one-interface/* . otherwise cp /usr/share/shorewall/Samples/one-interface/* . g) Edit /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf and be sure that STARTUP_ENABLED=Yes; if not change it. h) If you are running Debian or Ubuntu, edit /etc/default/shorewall and set startup=1. i) At a root console, type ''shorewall start''. This configuration will allow you unfettered access from your computer to the internet. Now a) cd /etc b) cp -a shorewall shorewall.good c) Now make changes to /etc/shorewall to try to allow the incoming traffic that you want. If you suddenly find that is has all gone to hell, then d) cd /etc f) rm -rf /etc/shorewall g) cp -a /etc/shorewall.save /etc/shorewall h) shorewall restart -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
